We received a gift from the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB), a closure letter for one of our client’s sites located in Reseda. I would say that the Los Angeles RWQCB was very generous, but as my 5th grade teacher used to tell me, “You get the grade you deserve”.

We have been performing work at this former dry cleaner for the past couple of years and we did soil gas investigations, soil investigations, we installed groundwater wells, sampled groundwater, and operated a soil vapor extraction (SVE) system. It is a relatively straight-forward site and a straight-forward approach to remediation of a dry cleaner, but the regulatory agency was a bit slow with the review of our submittals due to budget cuts and furlough days.

I am happy to report that we have been busy around here despite the apparent slump in the economy. We have been so busy in fact that we are rushing to attempt to find people to fill the roles and perform the work we have sold. In the coming months, I expect some pretty significant changes in the environmental due diligence field and I feel that I am in a good position to continue to meet and exceed my clients needs and expectations.
